On Some Curious Cases Where the Buddha Did Not Make a Rule
This paper examines a series of six curious narratives that appear in the section dealing with the third pārājika, the rule addressing monastic involvement in various acts of homicide (including abortion), in the Bhikṣu-vibhaṅga of the Mūlasarvāstivādavinaya. These tales purport to record the Buddha’s legislative reaction to (1) an offhand remark made to a seriously ill monk by his brother-in-the-dharma in response to which the sick monk foolishl…
When and Where is a Monk No Longer a Monk? On Communion and Communities in Indian Buddhist Monastic Law Codes
Indian Buddhist monks and nuns who commit pārājika offences are generally deemed to be asamvāsa ("not in communion"). In this paper I question the simplistic equation of asamvāsa with "expulsion." I discuss the case of a matricide monk who, having been expelled, went down the road and set up a new monastery. I use this example to throw light on local and translocal aspects of Buddhist monastic ordination, suggesting that asamvāsa may refer not to…

The case of the nun Mettiyā reexamined
The enigmatic story of the nun Mettiyā's expulsion from the sisterhood, seemingly for the false accusation of rape against the monk Dabba Mallaputta, has piqued the interest of modern scholars of Indian Buddhist monastic law ever since it was discussed by I.B. Horner in 1930. To date, however, no one has put forth a convincing explanation of the legal grounds for Mettiyā's expulsion. This holds true not only for modern scholars, but also it seems…

Miscellaneous Musings on Mūlasarvāstivāda Monks
Kkai's (774-835) curriculum for the education of Shingon monks broke away from Japanese religious orthodoxy by rejecting the Dharmaguptaka Vinaya or Vinaya in Four Parts () traditionally studied in East Asia in favor of another Indian tradition that had only just been introduced into China a century earlier: the Mlasarvstivda Vinaya. Kkai's admonitions, however, appear to have fallen on deaf ears, at least until the Tokugawa period. In the Tokuga…
